‘Set yourself a goal to engage in stress relief via either mechanism for at least 20 minutes daily for the coming seven days – it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.’

3. You find yourself grinding your teeth

Like vivid dreams, Olivia said that grinding your teeth in your sleep can be a sign of stress, sleep apnea or even both.

‘As with dreaming, engage in healthy stress relief practices on a regular basis, seek professional assistance if you need to manage your weight and consult your dentist to see if it’s something to do with your teeth causing it,’ Olivia said.

A bedtime routine will also help with minimising stress and reducing grinding.

4. You wake up with muscle cramps

If you’ve ever woken up with your muscles cramping in the middle of the night, it could be a telltale sign of magnesium deficiency.

‘Magnesium deficiency, high stress or electrolyte imbalance are all potentially to blame here, but magnesium is usually the cause,’ Olivia said.

Supplementing each night with a reliable magnesium formulation will aid this, she said.

‘Magnesium also helps to calm the nervous system, which will help with stress and anxiety too,’ she said.

5. You always need to pee

‘An overexcited bladder can be caused by stress, excessive caffeine or overall fluid, or possibly a lack of sodium (salt),’ Olivia said.
